Victorians ready to exit the longest lockdown and Learn more about Victoria's growing startup sector

As it happened: The end of Melbourne lockdown brings happiness after ‘the most challenge year ever’


The state government’s announcement easing of COVID-19 restrictions was like a ray of light for Victorians in the area. Thanks to the incredible efforts of millions of Victorians who turned out to get vaccinated at lightning speed, Victoria’s lockdown has lifted and the state can now move to relax quarantine rules further.

“Victorians have achieved something incredible, and I couldn’t be prouder. Thank you, Victoria.” - Quotes attributable to Premier Daniel Andrews

As Victoria powers towards its 80 percent double-dose vaccination rate, the Chief Health Officer has removed quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated international arrivals from 1 November. Fully vaccinated international travelers will be able to enter Victoria without spending 14 days in hotel quarantine as part of the Victorian Government’s Roadmap to Deliver the National Plan.


As these changes are made, there will be new settings for businesses across metropolitan and regional Victoria. Preparation work may include cleaning, organising, arranging, ordering, setting up, and implementing COVIDSafe measures ahead of attendance by customers.


Some Quick Guidelines for your Safety Reopening

"If we are together, nothing is impossible"

All businesses are urged to review their worker vaccination requirements. The option of eased capacity limits only applies if everyone present is fully vaccinated (or has a valid medical exemption).

This means if your staff are not fully vaccinated, you may not be able to open or to apply the eased capacity limits offered in the Roadmap. Encourage your workers to get vaccinated as soon as possible.


Businesses must ensure customers have checked in correctly using the QR code service and verify their customers’ vaccination status. To do this, if the customer has correctly uploaded their COVID-19 Digital Certificate to their Service Victoria app, you will be able to see their vaccination status together with their check-in details. A confirmed check-in via the QR code will continue to display a green tick.


Every business in Victoria with on-site operations is required to have a COVIDSafe Plan. It is a documented list of safety actions. Businesses that don’t have a COVIDSafe Plan risk a fine. There are resources and templates available to help you develop and update your COVIDSafe Plan, so it meets the latest requirements and health advice.


It’s important that your business is COVIDSafe and follows the COVIDSafe principles. You and your workers must wear a face mask indoors and outdoors – unless you have a lawful exception. This includes people who are fully vaccinated. The Coronavirus website has information specific to each sector and industry to help you adhere to COVIDSafe practices.
